Alors que les entreprises se développent et génèrent de plus en plus de données, la capacité à les traiter et à les interpréter pourrait être un obstacle à leur utilisation. Big Data. Sous cette formule un peu pittoresque se cache un phénomène préoccupant pour les entreprises: la multiplication de paquets de données à un niveau tel qu'il devient impossible de les gérer avec les outils actuels de gestion de bases de données. Ces informations hétérogènes, pas toujours structurées, sont difficiles à stocker, à retrouver et à partager.
Le traitement de Big Data, un sérieux défi pour les entreprises | L'Atelier: Disruptive innovation
Big data, au-delà du concept un nouvel axe de développement stratégique.
Une chose est certaine : la presse, les éditeurs ou les analystes se sont emparés du sujet et il est difficile aujourd’hui de surfer sur le web sans voir apparaître un éléphant pour nous rappeler ce que certains n’hésitent plus à appeler: un tsunami ou un déluge de données. Deuxièmement peut-on définir sa taxonomie et surtout comment pourrions-nous déterminer les solutions ou tendances technologiques qui en émergerons ? Bref à quel phénomène exact avons-nous à faire et comment allons-nous pouvoir orienter et préparer les Systèmes d’Informations existants pour prendre en compte cette nouvelle problématique ? Ensuite il est intéressant de se demander quel nouvel usage pourrons-nous envisager et comment tirer parti de tout cela sans tout bouleverser. Un cataclysme ne s’évite pas, il se prépare … et meilleure est la préparation moins les dégâts sont importants !Au cours de ce petit déjeuner, Henri Verdier, co-fondateur de la société MFG-Labs et président du pôle de compétitivité Cap Digital et de Julien Laugel, data scientist chez MFG-Labs ont proposé une introduction générale à ce phénomène : Quelles sont ces données ? Comment y accéder ? Quelles sont les évolutions dans la manière de les traiter ?

Recorded Future -- Big Data From The Internet Sees Into The Future - Forbes
Recorded Future can predict at least some aspects of the future by monitoring the Internet. Lots of the Internet. The two-year old Massachusetts-based firm which is partly funded by Google Ventures and the CIA’s VC arm (In-Q-Tel, which makes investments to benefit the United States intelligence community) thinks this aggregated and analyzed Internet information will be especially useful in three areas — government, finance and competitive intelligence. But will it tell a trader which stocks to buy? Actually, yes. By collecting information and sentiment, it can pick the 50 most popular and the 50 least popular, said Christopher Ahlberg, the company’s founder and CEO.Prêt pour l'entreprise, Hadoop stimule la demande de compétences (mise à jour)

Overcoming the Insight Deficit | Executive Guidance for 2011 | The Corporate Executive Board
Executives around the world are realizing that we have entered a new era in decision-making. Our abilities to store, access, and analyze vast amounts of information have grown exponentially across the past decade. However, even as companies invest eight and nine-figure sums to derive insight from information streaming in from suppliers and customers, fewer than 40% of employees have sufficiently mature processes and skills to do so. Download your PDF or e-book copy of Overcoming the Insight Deficit , our latest installment in the Executive Guidance series today, and learn more.From the utilities sector to the healthcare industry, C-level executives across the board are faced with large amounts of data, which can be viewed as both a burden and an opportunity. Executives tasked with overseeing company data must strike a balance between everyday data management tasks and effectively leveraging data through analytics and analysis. The Big Data Summit is an opportunity for C-level executives who are involved in data storage, data management and data analysis to gather and discuss how companies can effectively manage, protect and leverage the growing amounts of data in the enterprise. With a focus on best practices, the event will allow attendees to explore strategies and technologies surrounding real-time data processing, data protection and privacy, meeting industry regulations and compliance, and data storage.

What does it take to make the most of big data, as in tens, if not hundreds of terabytes of information? That depends on your needs and priorities. Ad-delivery firm Interclick found a fast platform that helps it be more productive while also delivering near-real-time insight. Harvard Medical School learned that data can grow even when obvious measures such as patient counts and years of data studied remain constant. comScore, the digital-media measurement giant, has twelve years of experience taking advantage of data compression by way of a column-store database.

The Big Business of 'Big Data' - NYTimes.com
Longer version: Last week there were several events that convinced me that one of the great tech bubbles inflating right now is around what people have agreed to call “Big Data.” Basically the term reflects the fact that its now so easy to digitize and put on the Internet all kinds of information — things as diverse as the measurements of passive sensors , most or all the world’s books , 200 million tweets a day and most of the world’s significant financial transactions — that the data is growing enormously. Big Data is really about, however, the benefits we will gain by cleverly sifting through it to find and exploit new patterns and relationships. You see it now in things like Facebook ads, which are put in front of you because the posts you have read and contributed to (which Facebook’s algorithms get to examine as the price of this “free” service) indicate you might be ready to buy the advertised good.Competing through data: Three experts offer their game plans - McKinsey Quarterly - Marketing & Sales - Digital Marketing
The ability to generate and analyze massive amounts of data today demands that executives rethink the role of information in business and even the nature of competitive advantage. In this interactive video, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Erik Brynjolfsson explores intriguing new research about the relationship among data, analytics, productivity, and profitability. Jeff Hammerbacher, cofounder of the data-oriented start-up Cloudera, describes what it takes to harness the “big data” that companies collect. Finally, Butler University men’s basketball coach Brad Stevens explains how he uses data to help his squad punch above its weight.The top marketing executive at a sizable US retailer recently found herself perplexed by the sales reports she was getting. A major competitor was steadily gaining market share across a range of profitable segments. Despite a counterpunch that combined online promotions with merchandizing improvements, her company kept losing ground. When the executive convened a group of senior leaders to dig into the competitor’s practices, they found that the challenge ran deeper than they had imagined. The competitor had made massive investments in its ability to collect, integrate, and analyze data from each store and every sales unit and had used this ability to run myriad real-world experiments.
Are you ready for the era of ‘big data’? - McKinsey Quarterly - Strategy - Innovation
Large-scale data gathering and analytics are quickly becoming a new frontier of competitive differentiation. While the moves of companies such as Amazon.com, Google, and Netflix grab the headlines in this space, other companies are quietly making progress. In fact, companies in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to retailing to telecommunications to insurance have begun moving forward with big data strategies in recent months. Together, the activities of those companies illustrate novel strategic approaches to big data and shed light on the challenges CEOs and other senior executives face as they work to shatter the organizational inertia that can prevent big data initiatives from taking root.
